Re: [IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 7-7

A common practice here on the East Coast is to SDR-record the band while sitting in a vehicle at a suitable shore site for a couple of hours starting just before sunset.

A bit of live DX might be done during the session but most of the analysis is done in comfortable indoor surroundings later on.

This technique is useful since most people's home QTH's are RF-noise-riddled and seldom ideally placed for DX. 

Actually sitting outside to DX would seldom be necessary since antennas are broadband in most cases.  Even tuned antennas can be adjusted by varactor diodes, coupled to a feedline, and then either directly fed to a receiver inside the vehicle or coupled to it inductively.

Colin, the only noise would be from 18 wheelers. There are no electrical
lines around. Gary DX's outside, which is pretty incredible. I don't mind
dxing from inside a vehicle, like we used to at Sombrio, and still do
occasionally at Rose Spit. Outside, though, I'm with you, Colin. 73, Walt
